I am home now from my doctors appointment. The waiting has been hell and still yet more waiting to go through. Right now I have AMAZING PEACE! It felt like a warm blanket while waiting for the news. The nurse came in.......normal temp. normal blood pressure. And now the big stuff:
I have a 9mm mass in the head of my pancreas. (The business end of the pancreas)
I have no swollen lymph nodes around the area. (GREAT NEWS)
I have a physically normal liver. (GREAT NEWS)
My pancreas is swollen and annoyed by the mass.
They are not sure what it is. I will need further tests. I had blood tests done today looking for cancer markers and liver function. The first actual test being an MRCP on Wednesday @ 7am. The results from this test will determine the next step. She said they will only really know if its cancer when they take it out and look at the cells under a microscope.
It appears we have caught it early. Whatever IT is.
I will have many tests and procedures coming in the next couple of weeks. It appears I have another mass in my right ovary. More docs. More tests. More things to overcome!
I'm not giving up. I feel strong today because of all the prayers of so many amazing, loving people. I can't believe all this is happening. But Clayton says we will take each day as it comes. Tackle it and move to the next. I sure love him. He has been so supportive through this.
I will post more later. As for now I'm going to eat some macaroni and hang out with Moi and Em.
I love you all and am overwhelmed by your love and support.
